The deep silence that had spread throughout the ocean did not last for long.
Perseus was the first to react.
A faint frown appeared on his face as he looked toward Kane, whose bloodshot eyes remained fixed on Ash without wavering even slightly.
"Kane, don't tell me you're actually considering that proposal."
His voice remained calm, but there was a trace of warning hidden beneath it.
"He's the Absolute Anomaly. Whatever comes out of his mouth should be treated with caution. We are not dealing with an ordinary Transcendent here."
Kane remained silent.
That silence alone caused Perseus' expression to become even more serious.
"Kane."
This time his voice carried considerably more weight.
"Don't allow your instincts to make decisions for you. We came here for a reason, and every organization standing behind us expects results. If you allow yourself to be influenced by the words of the very person we are supposed to capture, then you are already making a mistake."
